"Chuck" Vs. NBC’s Slow Death!!
Josh Schwartz's secret-agent action-comedy, which wasn’t supposed to return until March at the earliest, may now be back with new episodes by the end of this month, according to Mike Ausiello over at Entertainment Weekly.
With veteran shows like “Law & Order” and “Heroes” bleeding viewers and no new hits, the move to bring “Chuck” back to NBC early would seen a no-brainer.

Tony Hale, who played the dismembered brother on “Arrested Development” before he became a mini-mall sidekick on “Andy Barker, P.I.,” has taken a recurring role as the Buy More’s new assistant manager on “Chuck.”
The busy Hale will also take a recurring role on “Samantha Who.”

The Hollywood Reporter’s James Hibberd staked out The Paley Festival’s “Chuck” event and came away with some geeky nuggets.
The audience learned:
* how “Chuck” was partly inspired by Jack Bauer and “24”;
* the title of the series could have been “Scenario Five” (a title I like a lot better);
* Chuck originally had a very different love interest;

If NBC is ordering more episodes, maybe the writers’ strike really is almost over.

I am – Hercules!!
TV Guide says:
A top scientist attempts to remove all government secrets from Chuck's brain. But when the scientist is mysteriously killed, the NSA's Casey and the CIA's Sarah blame one another for the assassination---with Chuck caught in the middle of their battle. Elsewhere, Sarah goes undercover, working at a gourmet hot-dog joint to keep an eye on Chuck.
What TV Guide is not telling you:
Chuck learns what happened to Oceanic 815, which crashed on an entirely different network. CIA Sarah’s new employer is Weinerlicious, and it suddenly attracts a growing customer base of teenage boys. NSA John Casey does not do well with Buy More customer service exercises. Best friend Morgan finds the Ramones album he was looking for. And Chuck’s sister has Sarah over for dinner. The episode makes excellent use of the 1982 Violent Femmes classic “Gone Daddy Gone”! At episode's end we learn something of great importance to Chuck will happen in six months.

I am – Hercules!!
“Chuck” is a sci-fi action-comedy, from “O.C.” mastermind Josh Schwartz, about a Seth Cohen-ish electronics-store employee who suddenly discovers his college frenemy has downloaded an astonishing amount of sensitive government data into his brain without his permission.
Agents of the U.S. government are not happy, and must decide whether to use Chuck or to chuck Chuck.
The pilot has a pretty, Bristow-esque CIA secret agent out to seduce the title character, while a more menacing NSA operative (“Firefly’s” Adam Baldwin, playing what could be the angrier cousin of his “The Inside” FBI character) has other ideas.
